Adding to my brief prescription, draw up a 'big picture' plan to outline the specific parts of your mission. Use it as your motivation to drive towards attainment of each goal, in turn, in that plan.
Personally, I design trading systems and to limit myself to just one market would be terrible. I like the diversification that comes with multiple systems trading multiple markets. If I were manually day trading, I would have no idea how to keep track of many systems.
you got it, just put YM side by side with ES and you can tell they are in sync all the time, thus you can stare at YM and know that ES is doing the same move.
Yeah...the exhaust is leaking into the cooling system, I need a new engine...but it runs for a while before overheating...I bought that Van 8 years ago for 2k. I am going to need to remove some money from the retirement account and buy a Jeep Cherokee. On top of that I lost 8k in trading last month...At 47 years old 16K less around 8k for the Jeep, is not a retirement account... it is an ice cream allowance. Thank goodness I have a Job and do not have any loans besides the mortgage. Michael B.
its very simple here are your market potentials 1) ES - large size liquidity , low voliatlity in tick size movement moves like 40 ticks a day max 2) ER2 - small size liquidity , high voliatility in tick size movement, can move like 150 ticks a day easy 3) YM - big numbers, correlates the dow, small size liquidity, medium volatility in tick size movements. for the index markets. depend on what you want, choose and pick
